Notes About The Poem

I wish I had a great big greenhouse where I could have my garden even in winter.

Dreams of Summer

I dream of lazy Summer days,
And fields of wild flowers,
And babbling brooks and hidden nooks,
Taking shelter from the showers.

I dream of cool yet balmy nights,
Spent in the garden swing,
Listening to the night sounds,
And loving everything.

The fireflies that flit about,
In and out of foliage,
Moistened by the evening dew,
As they make their evening voyage.

I long for Summer evenings,
But for now I'm satisfied,
To look out on snowy meadows,
And the pristine countryside.

Oh, those 'babbling brooks and hidden nooks' -- perfect phrasing there... Just wish I had a hankering for the 'pristine meadow' like you do... Me? -- I see snow, and I think shovel it or fall on the ice and break something. Ugh. Cheers, Gershon

I thought I have already commented on this. A lovely description of nature in summer. May that season arrive soon despite the despicable mosquitos. ~~
